The interviewer asks this question to see how you work with and speak of others. They want to know if you will be an easy person to work with or a challenge. When you answer this question, remain positive, even if the experience wasn't. Keep your answer short and respectful. Avoid talking about any previous drama, and do not speak poorly of your employer.

If you had a great relationship with your previous boss, explain what made it great. If you did not have a good relationship with your former boss, focus on saying, 'I have had healthier relationships in the past with previous employers, but we did the best that we could. Our communication styles were very different, making it challenging at times.' Be sure to have a follow-up answer if the interviewer asks you to expand on what you have just said.

Avoid speaking poorly of your former boss, even if you did not get along. You also want to avoid saying you had an excellent relationship with them if you did not. The interviewer will call your references and find out you were dishonest in the interview.

"I had a very healthy relationship with my previous employer. She was easy to approach, and we often bounced ideas off each other. I would sum it up as a relationship led by strong mutual respect."
